Do i have to pay for the 2016 turbotax cd/download software if i did my 2016 taxes with turbotax online?

I need to amend my 2016 return but I get a message saying 

We're sorry

It looks like you missed the deadline to add a state or amend your return online using TurboTax.


But don't worry! We can still help you amend a return or add a state on your desktop. Downloading the software or getting it on a CD is an easy way to fix your return using TurboTax software.

But when I follow the amend a return link it gives me the same response

So I checked what would happen if I tried to amend my 2015 return and it allows me to download the software free. So can I do the same for the 2016 software?

Download the tax data file from the Welcome Back screen or from the 2016 Timeline accessed from the Welcome Home screen.
